So there were all these lights above me and some creepy dude telling me a
story about fat guys who know South Americans or some such bullshit, and
then the lights started turning into my dead cousin but he was a demon and
then it ended and I was fucking shaking.

I've been doing crazy shit at night. Some kind of bad enitity fucked with me and tortured me. I had to learn to wield physical things and prove myself worthy to God and he blessed me with a sword called something like the "Bel-ang-ian sword" and I was able to defeat them. Then I lost control of my body and was dropped into a black stone brick tub of water and swam to through itfor about 8 feet and finally woke up. I had struggled for hours to wake up especially when I was being tortured.

Yeah pilonidal cyst fucking sucks. The standard surgery is to cut it out along with its sinus tract and leave the open wound to heal, changing and replacing gauze in the wound every day for 3 months.... When I was told this I was like fuck that, told the doctor that was barbaric and found an alternative. I had the alternative surgery yesterday and will most likely be fully healed in 10 days.

I've never had sleep paralysis, but I used to get this thing when I was a kid, where I would be half awake, completely aware of my surroundings, but everything around me felt like it was going at double speed. It was just really fast and intense, like I was unable to keep up with it, and it really frightened me. Anybody know what this is called?

You were possibly on the outer cusp of learning to spirit travel or to astral travel instinctively but you have to commit to it usually to actually do it. Well...I've done it on accident a couple times but those are extenuating circumstances.

Kids are spiritual more often than adults because they haven't been tainted by the things that happen on Earth. A spiritual kid who doesn't stop believing can grow to become very spiritually empowered.

Word. I had one of those cysts that ended up lasting the entire first half of high school. It was fucking terrible. I probably got it from playing drums. I always say on a chair instead of a drum throne.
